Ugggh! That one wasn’t fun

Well..... windy, rainy, raging heartburn. It seemed much harder today but that’s it out of the way! I’m guessing it’s normal to not enjoy EVERY run in the beginning??? I hope so. I managed to land in a huge puddle which meant I ran with a very wet right foot 🏃‍♀️Spotify worked this time tho!! First time in new running shoes 👟

Not all runs are fun, some are hard some are a bit boring, puddles are a pain at least you christened your new trainers, i’m sure the next one will be amazing

Oh no! You got your new running shoes all soggy. Not good.

Hey listen, the weather was pants, but you still got out there and did it. Good for you.

I have the elements to face tomorrow morning... yikes!

Well done SuzieMac! 🤩! You did it!! Great achievement and just think 💭 there won’t be much that can put you off running in the future too! Brilliant! Keep going! 😁❤️

Well done!

If you can run in those conditions then you will run anytime.. 👍😉

The tough runs make the good ones even better. But you still did it. Well done you 😊😊

Stuff your trainers with newspaper to dry them out

Oof well done for getting out there! I’ve been sitting inside, feeling smug that I ran yesterday and so just HAVE to have my rest day today 😁 so good for you! I’ve found some runs I enjoy more than others, sometimes I know why and sometimes I don’t - at least this time you knew why 😁

Try drinking some water before your run as it settles any heartburn & reduces possibility of a stitch. You’re doing great 👍 Some runs are harder than others but hey you’re out there doing it. Well done you 😊👍

Absolutely normal to not enjoy every run, particularly in foul weather. Well done on getting out there and christening your new shoes. Have you stuffed them with newspaper so they dry quickly?

Not every run can be a good run... but there's something good in every run 👍🏻😉

Lol, the hard ones are there to make you really appreciate the good ones 😉

Well done on doing it regardless 👍

I used to get terrible heartburn sometimes in the 1st few months, something to do with the diaphragm I believe, used to have to be very careful what I ate earlier in the day...assume that's strengthened too from the running as I don't have a problem anymore. Hope that happens for you too 😊

Not what you're looking for?
